2 unusual facts about Leszek of Racibórz


Leszek of Racibórz

On 19 February 1327, together with other Silesian rulers, Leszek paid homage to King John of Bohemia in Opawa.

After his death, as a result of the arbitrary decision of King John of Bohemia (and despite the strong resistance of the other Piast rulers in Upper Silesia who were their closest male relatives), the Duchy of Racibórz was given to Duke Nicholas II of Opawa, who claimed the rights of his wife Anna, Leszek's oldest sister.
